Model LT2400 Laser Tube Cutting System Available from AltaMAR Laser and Control Minneapolis, MN November 18, 2005 – The Model LT2400 Laser Tube Cutting System is available from AltaMAR Laser and Control. This system is being offered to customers who fabricate tubular components from round or rectangular tubing. Capable of handling tubing to 24 feet in length and 6 inches in diameter, the LT2400 can produce completed parts in one process – both ends and all internal features are cut in one pass. With the flexibility and excellent edge quality of laser cutting, the LT2400 is ideal for manufacturers and job shops who need the ability to produce tubular parts in quantities from a few parts to tens of thousands. "We give our customers the potential for a large reduction in production costs due to the reduced number of operations required to make a part,” claims Daniel Martin, AltaMAR President. "These laser cutting systems produce complete parts in one operation. There is no longer any need to transfer parts from the saw to the drill to the mill during fabrication." Available with PRC lasers to 4000 watts, the LT2400 Laser Tube Cutting System is capable of cutting mild steel, stainless, or aluminum of various sizes and wall thicknesses. Round, rectangular, or ob-round tubes can be processed. The LT2400 accepts tubes to 24 feet. A tube length measurement system allows random tube lengths to be used. Optional automatic in-feed and out-feed systems allow for unattended operation. Built with standard components, the LT2400 is simple to operate and easy to maintain. The controller is PC based with a touch-screen user interface. An editor with easy-to-use programming tools is provided to generate programs for profiled ends and common internal features. High-level programming tools are available to generate programs with imported CAD geometry. The LT2400 operates with standard G and M codes. AltaMAR Laser and Control, in business since 1999, provides precision laser products and services in industrial and medical markets.
